The minds that changed the meaning of what a game meant, and how collective play could work. James Ward (Gamma World, and Metamorphosis Alpha); Gary Gygax and Dave Arneson (Dungeons and Dragons).
While Space Opera came along much later it demonstrated that an organized game with epic, comedic space shenanigans was possible.
